From the Southern World

Mr.. James Elverson, of Phlladel-
phIa, Pennsylvania, deserves the
thanks of parents who desire to see
the minds Of their children fed on
healthy reading matter. lis GOLD
EN- DAYS, for boys and girls, is one
Of the han1somest and best weekly
publications OF the kind in the coun-
try, and should supplant the vile,
sensational trash with which the
country Is flooded. The hope Of our
republic is in her youth, and if their
moral characters are not elevated
and made noble by a pure and lofty
type of literature for boys and girls,
we may expect serious trouble in
lie future OF our race.

There We're those who pretended to tell
by its sound what sort of cannon or
small arm proiectile was passing them
in the air. Certainly there was great
difference in the sounds. When
muslSet ball was at full speed it maize a
whiz like some huge and rapidly ,iJins in
sect. To advance under u FIRE cs in
fantry often seemed like attacking a
swarm of bees or hornets the air was 50
constantly cut by the little messengers Of
death. But as the fosce OF musket
ball diminished it gave a melancholy,
long-drawn wall, almost exactly like tho
meow Of a cat that is scolding its OPP
ponent. Between the "whizln or the
''st.' Of muskct bal and the fear
full hubbub made by the greatest
of cannon proiectiles there was
an immense variety of soul
narrowing sounds. There was
projectile, used by some of the Confeder-
ate artillery in the campaign between
the Wilderness and Petersburg, whose
sound, though not the loudest, was very
stirring in its effects, and our men nick
named it "The Great Demoralizer." For
there were few baclbone5 in the Army
of the Potomac that did not mvolunta-
rily bend whenever this shot with its
fearful combination Of rasping, tearing,
screaming and roaring sounds all in ono
passed over them.-T +. Galwey in Chi

The Preparation of Popular Perfumes.
More than So 900, 600 are spent annu-

for perfumes for the bath, toilet and

perfumes found N the stock of our lead
ing druggists are May Bells, Blue Bells,
Edenia, Marechal Neil Rose, Eyangolinc
and Alpine Violet. Rose odors such a5
tube rose, tea rose aud white rose are
largely in demand also the pure oil Of
rose. Ottar, essence or oil Of rose, so
much sought after by the ladies, is dis
. titled from the fresh Yosc flowers. 1t is
prepared largely in little town called
Kisaulick in the Balkan mountains.
About 5000 pounds are raised annually,
the commercial valuc of which is $3.50 to
5000 per pound. The roses are gathered
in May and are distilled with the green
leaves Of the caly. The oil is furnished
in minute proportion, not more than
three pounds being realized from 100
pounds Of roscs.-Globe-D Democrat.

Less time was required for large flock

the little pets that have nothing to
trouble them. There are no lice on

ANCIENT WAR UNIFORMS.
The Defensive Armor Worn ut the Timt
of tho Norman Conquest.

| The Defensive Armor Worn ut the Time
of tho Norman Conquest.
The principal garment worn in battle
at this time by both NOrmans and En-
glishmen who were rich or powerful
(for the ordinary people fought in their
everyday clothes) was so shaped as
to cover the arms to the elbow and the
legs to the knee. 1t was made of leath-
er or strong cloth, on which were
sewed small plates or rings of metal.
1t was probably also wadded. as an adj
ditional protection. Sometimes, in
stead of the plates and rings trcllis-
work of leather was made and strength
ned with studs. The garment had a
square opening in the breast. to enable
the wearer to struggle into it, irst his
legs, then one arm, then the other.
When he was in, flap was buckled or
bustoned across the opening. A hood
of the same material as this body gar
ment covered the head and shoulder.
On top of the hood was placed helm
ct of iron and bronze conicle or nearly
SO in shape and fitting round the head
like hat. A piece of iron came down
from the rim in front, protecting the
nose and partially masking the face.
There was sometimes similar piece
to cover the back of the head and the
nape of the neck. These helmets must
have been both heavy and uncomforta-
bic, as the whole weight rested on the

II Is automatic that the utmost free
dom of property should exist between
members of one nation. Therefore, "
says the free-trader, 1T is automatic
that the utmost freedom of Interchange
of property should exist between the
members Of all nations" 1t does not
follow. ''Why." asks the free-trader.
''if it is well to have unfettered traffic
between all the subdivisions Of great
nation, is it not well to have it between
all the subdivisions of all nations?'
The unanswerable answer is: "Be-
cause it isn't"
Excepting England, all nations that
have adopted an unfettered system of
trade with all other nations have re-
trograded. 1t is not certain that En-
gland has not absorbed the germ of re-
progression with her free-trade policy.

The free-trade creed starts with the
declaration that it is necessary above
all things that people should have
cheap goods offered to them. The pro-
tective creed starts out with the dec
laration that cheapness is relative to
the ability to buy, and that the first
need OF people is money to buy with.
The protective theory is that by home
trading money will be made more plcn-
tiful. or at least more equally diGused.
and that in course of time, and at no
